The Misunderstood Son at the Centre of a $44 Million Family Tragedy

The Nathan Carman case is one of the most disturbing and confusing true-crime stories in recent years — a wealthy New England family, a bitter inheritance dispute, a mother lost at sea, and a millionaire grandfather found shot in his own bed. In this video, I break down The Carman Family Deaths using my background as an ex-police detective and bestselling crime thriller author.

I analyse the evidence surrounding the murder of John Chakalos, the disappearance of Linda Carman during the Block Island fishing trip, the sinking of Nathan’s boat Chickenpox near Block Canyon, and the alleged inheritance motive prosecutors believe connects it all.

You’ll also hear what Netflix left out of its coverage — alternative suspects, family conflicts, financial motives, and overlooked investigative details. And finally, I’ll share my ex-detective verdict on whether Nathan Carman was framed or whether this was calculated.
